Nineteen Eighty-Four

A new edition of Orwell´s timeless dystopian classic, introduced and annotated by his biographer, D.J. Taylor Since its first publication in 1949, Orwell´s devastating expose of the totalitarian mind has established itself as the most influential political satire of the modern age. Winston Smith´s doomed rebellion against the all-seeing eye of Big Brother, and a world corrupted by technology and the perversion of language, is as relevant now as it ever was. This new edition includes an introduction and extensive end-notes, and an appendix containing original responses to the novel and several of Orwell´s essays from the period in which Nineteen Eighty-Four was written.
